Temperature in the low 40s this morning.  Slight drizzle.  Enough moisture to make the cold temperature run right down your backbone (fighter pilot medical terminology.)

So, this week is like root canal week for the students.  A little pain, a little suffering but all will be well when most of them get to go home to some well-deserved rest, home cooking, and no 8:00 AM anything.

Like I tell you…we’ll be glad to see them go…the place will be quieter.  Some of us will actually get some of the good, no door-ding parking spots.  By about December 26, though, we’ll start to wonder why they aren’t back yet.  Such is the cycle of life here.
